The timing belt is one area of your car that can benefit from tension. To open and close the camshaft's valves according to proper timing, the belt has to be maintained at correct tension levels. When the belt slacks, its inability to drive the camshaft correctly can cause extensive engine damage. There's an easy way for you to avoid that problem, though. Just equip your vehicle with a reliable timing belt tensioner. This pulley is designed to maintain the right amount of pressure on the belt and prevent it from becoming loose or slacking. This ensures that the timing belt keeps driving the camshaft properly. Interestingly, the timing belt is also the most effective indicator of a damaged tensioner pulley. If the belt breaks before 60,000 kilometers, however, then something is definitely wrong with your timing belt tensioner. Push on the timing belt to check for tightness. If there's slack, tighten the tensioner. If the belt still slacks, and is nearly brand new, then you're better off getting a new tensioner pulley. Auto Parts Deal has tensioners for all makes and models.
